Israeli airstrikes have intensified in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of at least 25 Palestinians. Among those killed were eight individuals in an apartment within the Nuseirat refugee camp and ten in the town of Jabalia, according to medical sources.

Efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas have hit a stalemate. Reuters reports that Qatar and Egypt have made some progress in resolving disagreements, but key issues remain unresolved.

The conflict escalated after Hamas-led fighters attacked Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, leading to the deaths of 1,200 people and the taking of over 250 hostages. Israel's ongoing military campaign has resulted in significant Palestinian casualties and widespread destruction in Gaza.
